Wedding Planner vs. Wedding Day Coordinator
Thinking that working with a wedding planner is for you but not sure which service you need? You are in the right place - I’ll be breaking down the differences and highlighting the benefits of each service so you can decide which will suit you best.
The Role of a Wedding Planner
Aa a full-service wedding planner, we are by your side from the day you get engaged. If you want our expert advice, and above all support, throughout your whole wedding planning journey, then choosing to work with us from the start is the best option for you.
Your wedding planner will become a close friend in the lead up to your wedding - you’ll probably be in more communications with them than your actual best friend! And this is because we will be handling every detail of your wedding from design, suppliers, logistics and budget to ensure your wedding is tailored to your unique style and delivers on those special moments.
When you work with us on our full wedding planning service, this is what you can expect from us:
Venue Research & Site Visits – We take the time to find the perfect venue for you and accompany you on site visits so we can ensure all the right questions are asked and answered by the venue before you book.
Supplier Management– We only work with recommended suppliers we know can deliver to the highest standard, so we ensure to match you with the industry’s very best. From our experience working alongside many suppliers, we know who will be able to create your wedding vision perfectly. Along with supplier research and recommendations, we also handle all the communication and management between your suppliers so you don’t end up with hundreds of emails!
Bespoke Designs – Our talented creative team develops a cohesive and bespoke wedding design that reflects your personality and makes your wedding one-of-a-kind.
Wedding Website Creation – This service streamlines all communications with your guests and allows us to manage your RSVP’s and any guest enquiries on your behalf, saving you time and stress.
Food Tastings - There is a lot more than just eating food when you have a food tasting with potential caterers. We help you decide on quantity, dietary alternatives and budget as well as timings for serving your food throughout your wedding day. Whilst also helping you decide which tableware to choose so that it fits your design aesthetic.
Budget Management - We know how and where to allocate your budget to ensure the priorities for your wedding are planned for. This could be the design, catering or venue that is the most important to you, so we help you spend your budget accordingly.
Wedding Timelines – This should never get overlooked, and actually takes a lot of time and organisation to get perfect. From meetings with suppliers, to delivery timings, set up timetables and the meticulous wedding day timeline itself - we manage your payment schedules and all the important moving parts of your wedding for you.
For marquee weddings, in particular, our full wedding planning services are invaluable. Creating a wedding in a marquee involves a lot more planning than a venue wedding, so our couples really value our support and knowledge with these types of events.
Tent layouts, lighting, logistics, timings and emergency plans require an experienced team to ensure a flawless execution.
If you feel like having a wedding best friend and expert organiser all rolled into one sounds like something you need in the lead up to your bid day, then our full wedding planning service is for you!
